And during this sudden conversation, Fried also discovered that Tio's recovery speed had significantly slowed down.

The torn kimono revealed her curvaceous right waist and burned skin. The dragon scale layered armor couldn't heal faster than the damage. The wound on her shoulder hadn't fully healed. Tio spoke with a nonchalant air, but cold sweat streamed down her forehead, clearly trying to hold back the pain.

Anyone could see that she had reached her limit.

Given this, it was only natural that Fried would believe he could completely defeat Tio before his power was reversed.

Uranus's injured eye had completely healed. He roared loudly, boosted his morale, and prepared to launch the final attack.

As for Tio's reaction...

"I never said that these were all the Black Dragons were."

As she spoke, a charming smile full of seductive charm appeared on her face.

Then, the Dragon King's command rang out. A voice that seemed to reach the underworld.

"I decree by my temporary royal authority! Rebirth—'The Dragon King's Hegemony'!"

Black magic surged from everywhere on the earth.

The magical power surged in the blink of an eye, covering the earth like a flood—or more accurately, covering the monsters that had fallen to the ground and died.

Then, numerous terrifying corpses of monsters began to stir at the same time.

The monster began to transform, and the transformation process looked familiar. It was undoubtedly the same transformation as the black dragon transformation of "Dragon King's Majesty".

“Could it be…?”

"The Black Slave Whip isn't the only element needed to transform into a black dragon. How much blood and dragon scales do you think I've shed on this battlefield?"

"Hmm, I get it! Using a part of my own body as a medium...! But..."

However, the objects are different.

The ground beneath the massive corpses of the monsters was stained black and red with flesh and blood, a scene resembling hell. The dead monsters roared and began to rise.

The bodies of these corpses gradually turned black, and they roared and looked up at the sky.

Such a scene is like opening the gates of hell.

Black corpse dragons rose one after another from the mountain of corpses and river of blood, spread their dragon wings on their backs, and their huge bodies floated into the air and gathered in front of the Dragon King.

──The soul becomes the hegemony of the composite magic dragon king.

The magic of "Dragon Soul Replication" is based on the "Dragonization Factor" to create a simulated dragon soul. It is combined with the magic of "Demon Transformation" to allow the dead to be reborn as a black dragon that simulates a living being. It is a complex magic.

In other words, the doll was only given temporary life by copying Tio's own soul, so once the magic was lifted, it would turn back into an ordinary corpse.

She stained countless corpses with her own flesh and blood, using them to form a new army of black dragons, each of which looked as ferocious as an evil dragon. At first glance, they looked like the ruler of the underworld army, and even the gods' followers could not help but exclaim in fear.

“This is so terrifying…!”

"Hehe, my master is the new man called the Demon King. As his woman, this looks very fitting, doesn't it?"

For the man who once served the Demon King, these words were truly ironic. And the alluring, evil smile she wore was full of provocation.

Instead of being disgusted by Tio's magic, Hajime praised it, saying, "Great! Recycling the killed opponents is both environmentally friendly and convenient!" So Tio didn't feel guilty at all, but rather very happy.

The appearance of the Corpse Dragon Legion and Tio contrasts with the pure white Fried and Uranus, making it impossible to tell which side is the evil force trying to destroy the world.

"Come on! First, celebrate the birth! A dragon should act like a dragon, roar loudly!"

King Tiolong gave the order himself.

The Armed Black Dragon, the Reincarnated Black Dragon, and the Black Corpse Dragon responded to her orders simultaneously.

Instantly, a flood of "Black Roars" pierced the battlefield, as if simultaneously thrusting into a dense array of gunfire in all directions. Countless wails and screams rose and fell, echoing endlessly.

In this way, the situation was finally reversed.

The number of monsters in the army is about four hundred.

The Black Dragon Army consisted of about 800 soldiers.

The combat power gap that Fried said was impossible to overturn was finally overturned.

"What's the matter? Your army seems to have suffered quite a few casualties."

Although Tio's appearance looked devastated, she looked majestic as she floated in the air with a large group of black dragons following behind her, fully worthy of the title of Dragon King.

Fried slowly looked around the battlefield.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Tio, a sneer as cold as a blade appearing on his face.

It was an extremely twisted and ugly emotion, like watching a worm with broken wings struggling, mocking those who desperately struggled for non-existent hope.

"I told you that your wishful thinking will not succeed."

Fried raised the hand he had just lowered.

Then, the obelisk shone brilliantly, raising a pillar of light.

At the same time, pure white light erupted from all corners of the sky world, seemingly echoing the beam. Apparently, there wasn't just one obelisk.

“This… this is really giving me a headache…”

Theo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What would happen next? No need to even think. The bad premonition naturally came true.

—Roaroo ...

Countless roars and beast calls as numerous as stars rang out at the same time, shaking the entire sky world.

The worst scenario suddenly unfolded before my eyes.

Everywhere you look is filled with monsters, and there are large groups of monsters everywhere.

Not only the sky above this floating island, but the entire sky world was filled with monsters, even sporadic divine beast-level monsters.

There are so many of them that it is absurd to count them, just like the stars in the sky.

At least what can be concluded is that the number is definitely not just thousands or tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but at least more than one million or several hundred thousand.

"These are monsters from the divine realm, not my servants."

It seems that Freed's authority as a quasi-familiar god allows him to interfere with the space of the "Divine Realm" and the monsters within it to a certain extent. This trump card is the basis for his self-proclaimed "absoluteness."

"Originally, I only wanted to rely on my own strength to complete the mission, but destroying you is God's will, and at this point, it is understandable. Now I have no choice but to use all my strength to destroy you."

Fried declared this, his eyes dim and cloudy, revealing both resentment and pleasure.

"Come on, Tio Kularus. Are you ready? It's time to trample on me."

After saying that, Fried swung his arm down.

At the same time, countless hordes of monsters rushed towards Tio and the Black Dragon Army.

The black dragon army fought hard to protect the Dragon King, but their opponents were like the raging waves rising from the raging sea.

Just like the human body cannot resist natural disasters, the black dragons wailed and died one after another.

(…There are too many of them. Even using 『Grace』 won’t help.)

Tio dodged the Aurora Dragon Breath shot from Uranus, and swung the Black Slave Whip to restrain Friede, while searching for Xia's breath through sensing.

She seemed to have defeated the Platinum Apostle, but she probably wouldn't be able to resume her activities immediately. If she were attacked by a monster now, she would be vulnerable. And such a situation could happen at any time.

(Damn it, this is disappointing! But if this is all the enemy's combat power, perhaps it's worth using my trump card!)

Deciding that this was the time to play her true trump card, Tio finally made up her mind.

However, we are still one step away from the final goal and have not yet fully prepared our strength.

(There’s nothing I can do! Women need courage!)

She decided to forgo the safety-conscious approach of damage reduction in favor of a risky approach where one wrong move could cost her life.

In order to obtain the power needed to perform the ultimate move, and for the sake of her friend (Shia), Tio will never hesitate!

"Come on, Uranus! My greatest roar compares to yours, and who is worse? Let's see who wins!"

The provocative shouts that rang out on the battlefield immediately stimulated Uranus.

Tio pretended to open her arms, and pure black magic gathered in front of her. The amount of magic was so abundant that it could be called excessive, and it was astonishingly compressed and concentrated, like a final blow with all her might at stake.

Therefore, Uranus had no reason not to accept the challenge.

Pure white sparks erupted from its entire body, and a ring of magic appeared around its massive body, converging towards its mouth. After the ring condensed seven times, it formed a dazzling ball of light.

Both sides shot dragon breath at each other at the same time.

The scene of the two-colored dragon breath flashing head-on collision at the Great Volcano was repeated in the [Divine Realm]. However, the result was completely opposite.

Tio's dragon breath was unable to resist even for a moment and was immediately swallowed by Uranus's dragon breath.

Her attack was like a paper tiger with nothing but appearance.

Tio crossed her arms to shield her face, and at the same time bent her legs, as if hugging her thighs and curling up her whole body.

However, such a defense is of course no match for the "White Dragon's Roar".

Logically speaking, it should be absolutely impossible to resist. However—

“Hmm!? Ouranos, wait—”

Just as the aurora was about to strike Theo, Fried caught sight of her eyes between her crossed arms. Her eyes, brimming with awareness and arrogance, shone with a sudden, ominous premonition.

So he subconsciously tried to stop Uranus. Of course, it was too late...

Then, with a loud bang, Tio's figure disappeared in the bright light.

The intense, direct beam of light seemed to cleave the entire sky in two. Monsters caught in the beam were swept away, one after another, and the aftermath of the beam also wreaked havoc on the surrounding area.

In this destructive light—

"...!"

Tio roared incoherently, enduring the attack with all her might.

The 『Dragon Scale Layered Armor』, which possessed the strongest endurance of the Dragon People, was gradually destroyed from the surface. Tio gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain directly inflicted on her flesh, almost breaking her teeth.

The pain is like hell and can drive people crazy.

Tio could clearly feel her body gradually disintegrating from the very end. She even felt as if death was creeping towards her. Unlike the pain inflicted by Hajime, this excruciating pain was completely devoid of sweetness. Her body and instincts were ringing alarm bells with all their might.

The damage was so severe that Tio almost fainted. She desperately held onto her consciousness and continued to endure. Then—

(……feasible!)

She was so sure of this. At the same time, she transformed the magic power that she had just gathered but not released into dragon breath, and released it, sending herself flying.

Thus, she narrowly escaped the aurora torrent, but she had no strength left to fly, and white smoke came out of her body as she fell to the ground.

Her body hit the ground like a cannonball, making a loud noise and raising a lot of dust.

"...Tio, miss?"

Hearing the trembling voice, Tio couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that they had caught up, and Shia hadn't been attacked by the monster yet. Although Tio was relieved, she also knew that her miserable state worried her, and she couldn't help but lament that life is not always as expected.

Therefore, Tio answered Shia with a smile, trying her best to keep her tone cheerful.

“Uh, um, cough cough… It’s… the pervert that the whole world loves… Miss Tio… cough cough, uh…”

"Stop it! You're already looking like you're dying, why do you have to act funny?! Besides, no one will love you as a pervert! All of humanity should stay away from you!"

"You, you said... No one likes me? All of humanity? Ah, that's too powerful. As expected, the feeling of being insulted by your companions is just too good... Ugh! Haah, haah!"

Shia said anxiously, holding a recovery potion in one hand, and desperately crawled towards Tio.

Tio groaned for reasons other than the severe pain, and her appearance was truly regrettable.

No wonder Xia couldn't help but stop and half-closed her eyes indifferently.

But because of this, her head was not shot through.

A white feather flew past Shia's eyes and stabbed into the ground. "It hurts!" Shia cried out. The hand holding the magic potion was shot, luckily only a scratch, but the potion bottle was broken.

Looking in the direction where the white feathers came from, they saw Fried riding on the back of the White Dragon looking down at them.

At the same time, the light sources are blocked.

The sky was filled with swarming monsters, the sky invisible. At the same time, monsters descended to the ground, surrounding the two of them, so dense that they formed a wall, as if they were surrounded by a swirling dark cloud.

The monsters formed a hemisphere, completely surrounding Shia and Tio.

"Your black dragon has escaped. It seems you don't even have the energy to control your subordinates right now. But, judging by your current behavior, I know."
